I'd say I picked a winner for my first grow. It was able to handle any rookie mistakes I made(and trust me there were a lot). Was able to pull roughly 3-4oz and as for the final product you can tell it really wants to smell and taste good, it just can't because of those mistakes. Definitely recommend and will grow again in the future.

Pretty simple feeding guide, followed it pretty much exactly with no issues(minus the ones I caused). Definitely on the expensive side and the seals on some of the bottles were horrible and falling apart, although I think that has more to do with the retailer I purchased from. Overall though for a complete beginner with no clue what I was doing, I had no complaints. I'm looking forward to another run with this brand and updating my review once I get to taste.
11/21/24: Man oh man, the time has come. Went ahead and chopped down the ladies today. It's funny, while I was so excited to get to this point, now that it's here I almost feel sad lol. That being said, this has been an absolutely amazing and fun experience for me. I'm excited for the last few steps of the journey and definitely excited for the next run. I'll be updating with progress/pictures as they come.
11/28/27 Felt pretty crispy a couple days ago, but took the advice online to wait for the snap. Definitely way over dried and put too much faith in the ol' snap test. Lesson learned though. Finished trimming and jarring everything up, now to let them sit in the jars for a while and hope I cure better than I dry.
I'll update with news and smoke tests in the near future.

KingMickeystarted grow question 4 months ago
Just recently transplanted(1gal - 5gal), first-timer so it didn't go as smoothly as I planned or hoped. The girls look a little sad, which I hear is pretty normal this soon after transplanting, but is there anything I can do that can help the ladies make a full/quick recovery?

They are going to recover perfectly in just a few days. Give them some time to get used to their new environment and make new roots/drink the moisture from the fresh soil and they will peak up again!😊
I think they are looking very good for your first grow! 😊
KingMickeystarted grow question 4 months ago
The yellowing has gotten worse and I'm noticing slightly burnt tips/edges and some droop. Could this be burn/deficiency or over/underwatering? A combination? Is there anything I can do to fix this early or is it just a matter of giving them some time and less nutrients? Thanks!

Difficult to tell, but my guess would be a combination of nitrogen deficiency (the yellowing is quite uniform) and a little overwatering.
Mg deficiency the leaf veins stay quite green and the rest of the leaf lightens.
KingMickeystarted grow question 4 months ago
I've heard that you shouldn't top your ladies while there are any deficiencies or issues as it can be extremely stressful. Considering the light spotting and slightly burnt tips, would you say these gals are fine to top or should I wait until everything is perfect and dialed in?

They are looking happy and healthy.
You can definitely top, just take off as little as you can on the top node.
Sometimes you might need to wait a day or 2 for it to open up so you can cut just the tip off.
That helps a lot for them to not take too much of a hit.
KingMickeystarted grow question 2 months ago
Flowering time is said to be 60-70 days, today is day 62. I've seen a lot on the trichomes and when to harvest but I don't quite have the eye for it yet as it's my first time. Would you guys say these are ready or should I go a few more days. Thanks in advance for any help!

High KingMickey, You still need about 1 or 2 weeks to go. The best way to tell that a plant is ready for harvest is with a pocket microscope (60x is perfect). The trichomes change color from uripe (clear as glass) to ripe (milky white) to expired (amber brown). When 80% from the trichomes are milky white it is the perfect time to harvest.
But if you do not want to use a microscope then the pistils (brown hairs) are the second best indicator. When 80-90% from the pistils are brown it is time to harvest.
You still need 1 to 2 weeks till the ideal time for harvest. The buds look great buddy! Enjoy the harvest! 💚
KingMickeystarted grow question a month ago
Do you think these gals will be ready for harvest in 2 days or will this be a huge mistake? 2 days from now will be my only day off for the rest of the month other than Thanksgiving day. Am I good to harvest or should I wait and have it possibly interfere with work/the holiday?

High KingMickey,
They are ALMOST ready! If you want to harvest the weed at most potent you need to wait another week.
But you can also harvest in 2 days. The difference when you harvest a bit early is that it gives a little more head high instead of body high. But there will not be a huge difference in just 1 week buddy.
Happy Harvest! 💚

Your doing everything spot on and for your first time aswel.
I might be wrong but your perlite is telling me too much water or not leaving medium to dry out almost between water/feed etc..
Good luck mate

Those Strawberry strains can be a bit finicky from my experience. Fingers crossed it turns out great for you! It looks like you’ve done your homework and are well-prepared. Good luck!

As a beginner, this site has been such an amazing resource. Being able to ask you guys questions, and get such great advice from all you more experienced folk has been extremely helpful. Most importantly, however, the community being so kind, supportive, knowledgeable, and helpful has not only made this whole learning experience a lot less intimidating and difficult, but also a lot more fun. HUGE thank you to everyone that takes the time to comment, answer, and help out!!!
